In the suit filed Tuesday in New York State Supreme Court, a group of eight passengers claims they were faced with the “overwhelming horror of being trapped in a plane about the crash,” the New York Post reported.

“As a direct result of the frightful, death-threatening Flight 1380 incident, each Plaintiff suffered severe mental, emotional and psychological injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder, and physical injuries,” the lawsuit states.

The civil suit also alleges that the Dallas-based airline failed to reasonably monitor and maintain the failed engine that caused the incident.

Southwest Airlines declined to comment on the matter citing its status as pending lawsuit.
